WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I completed the BIM Foundations followed by BIM Information Management course and I found them excellent courses, especially helping me to ‘bridge my knowledge gap’ between the old PAS standard and the new ISO standard. I thought the courses was very well laid out to help me consume and assimilate this complex subject.
